ELEVATE addresses quadrupedal manipulation failures by using persistent task failures to identify missing physical behaviors, train controllers in simulation, and add them to a reusable library. On A02, reaching a target 1.25 m above the floor near a wall, it achieved 100.0% success across five runs, versus 0.0% for ASPIRE and Code-as-Policies. The comparison includes extra training; physical transfer was task-specific.
